Mini-Symposium "CMMC Research Insights" for visiting Master Students of the Utrecht University

On a regularly basis the CMMC welcomes students from different Master and PhD Programs to learn more about the ongoing research activities of the research groups and to meet the principal investigators with her/his research team.

On June 07, 2017 the students of theMaster Program Cancer Stem Cells and Developmental Biology of the Utrecht University visited the CMMC.

Following CMMC principal investigators gave a short presentation of their research activities followed by lab visits:

Paul T Brinkkötter
Metabolic signaling at the kidney filtration barrier

Mathieu Clement-Ziza
Mechanisms of tumor development

Sebahattin Cirak
Personalized treatment for muscular dystrophies

Jay Gopalakrishnan
Brains in dish; brain organoids for human brain research

Leo Kurian
